Summary

We got our Rich Roll on before this amazing episode! David's appearance on the Rich Roll Podcast came out this week, and we started with some takeaways from a surreal experience. We then pivot into some talk on protein in adaptation and recovery. When in doubt, the answer for us is often to throw some protein on it.

Next was a truly wild study that looked at low energy availability and managed to do the impossible: it included a control group that was blinded to the intervention. How is it even possible to make subject unaware of their caloric intake? How could 2 weeks of intentional underfueling be allowed ethically? We delve into a new frontier of nutrition and performance science.

And this one was jam-packed with fun topics! Other topics: banging the cymbal, what we learned in the few months since the Rich Roll episode was recorded, why enhancing "fat metabolism" via nutritional interventions has limited utility, a review study on swearing and performance, how that has implications for self-talk and internal monologues generally, the emerging science of continuous lactate monitors, our predictions for their future use, an article on the uncertainty of ketones, contrasting that with their widespread adoption in endurance sports, a study on gold medalist Kristian Blummenfelt, how he meets his astronomical fueling needs, how heart rate zones vary across athletes, why everyone is different with heart rate, and Listener Corner.

Thank you all for the love and support to make any of this possible. We love you all! HUZZAH!

0:00.0	Woo!
0:01.0	Welcome to the Summerwork I'll Play podcast.
0:03.0	We are so happy with you today.
0:05.0	Happy Tuesday.
0:06.0	It's Tuesday.
0:07.0	And we're celebrating Tuesday with a nose strip, bringing some good vibes.
0:10.0	Welcome to the nose strip club where we're making it rain with open nostrils.
0:15.0	We're both wearing our breathe right, large, tan nose strips here, unsponsored, but quite air-rated through our nostrils.
0:22.2	And it feels really good. Why don't we do this more often when we podcast? There is so much air,
0:26.7	airflow in here. I love it. I kind of need to wear this all the time. I'm like 35 weeks pregnant,
0:31.0	and I'm like, I should just exist in this walking up the stairs. I think there's a mistake with evolution, actually. The fact that no strips make me feel so
0:38.7	good is a sign that, you know what, whatever they say about evolution, I don't agree with it. The theory
0:43.4	itself, not even on board anymore, because if I'm not wearing a no strip when I run now, I just feel
0:49.0	like I'm not getting enough air. And I know that the studies on nose strips say that they don't improve performance
0:54.9	or anything like that. But I swear, they help me. I don't care what the study. This is the
0:59.7	one place where I'm anti-science is in nose strip philosophy. I think it's the vibes. I think you
1:04.7	really should have just worn it to school drop off, which you just did. And just walked in the
1:08.2	door and I'm like, I'm here with my no strip vibes.
1:15.0	Just do it all day long. See what happens. We should put one on Leo. A two-year-old walking into the daycare, essentially. We call it a school, but it's a daycare. I know. I'm like, he's going to school.
1:19.7	Functionally, he's going to daycare. It makes me feel real good about it. It's bolder, too. So, you know, they're getting a little hippie-dippy in a way that's really good.
1:28.1	So they'd probably especially appreciate his no-strip game if he showed up with a little baby no-strip.
1:33.0	He should have had one today, too.
